As far as I understood the proverb "Rome wasn't built in a day". It is told to someone who is complaining about wanting to achieve something but don't want to work hard; for example, someone who wants to be a pilot and complaining about the study being hard so you tell him,"keep going, Rome wasn't built in a day"
The proverb "Skillful sailors aren't made by smooth seas" also have a similar meaning to the proverb "Rome wasn't built in a day". They are both used to describe an achievement that is achieved by hard work.
I agree with your responses. Another one I've always liked is, "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are made for."
